Owning a home begins when you sign the papers at closing –
and never ends. There is always work to do and projects to tackle. This sort of
personalization is what makes home ownership so much fun! You get to make your
home your own. You just need the right
tools to do it.
So whether you consider yourself a regular handyman or you
know just enough to be dangerous, here are some tools that every homeowner
needs to have in their toolbox.
-
Ladder: For those hard to reach places, light
bulb changes and paint jobs
-
Drill and Drill Bits: A must have for most home
improvement projects
-
Tape Measure: Know how big the room is before
you buy that new sofa
-
Level: Hang pictures just right!
-
Screwdrivers: For all types of DIY furniture
projects or new purchases
-
Stud Finder: Hanging a heavy piece of art? This
is a must have.
-
Extension Cord: Don’t get caught trying to work
without one.
-
Utility Knife: Open and breakdown boxes.
-
Misc Hardware: Get yourself an assortment of
nails and screws.
Of course there are other tools you’ll want to add over the
years but this should get you started.
